Former minister at church used for
Trump's photo-op: 'It was a sacrilege for all people of
all faiths'
Watch
Rev. Gini Gerbasi, the rector at St. John's Episcopal
Church of Georgetown, said she was at the scene when
police fired smoke canisters and pepper balls to
disperse the crowds so that President Donald Trump could
walk over to the church and take photos.
“I am shaken, not so much
by the taste of tear gas and the bit of a cough I still
have, but by the fact that that show of force was for a
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY,”
Gerbasi said on Facebook.
“The patio of St. John's, Lafayette square had been HOLY
GROUND today. A place of respite and laughter and water
and granola bars and fruit snacks. But that man turned
it into a BATTLE GROUND first, and a cheap political
stunt second.”
